Located near and in The Deadmire they have the ability called Osmosis that is an aura like ability that deals 83-84 damage a second.

Also for killing a Withered Bog Lord you will be credited 15 reputation points towards the fraction 'Sporeggar'.

These mobs, and other Bog Giants, are "skinnable" by herbalists, meaning you can harvest herbs from them just like you would from a plant of Peacebloom or Golden Sansam. 310 herbalism skill is required, and the items that you harvest from the Bog Giant corpses vary from gray vendor trash, to actual herbs, to motes of life, and more. Higher herbalism skill may be needed for higher level Bog Giants. You do not gain Herbalism skill levels from "skinning" these mobs.

As of patch 2.1 Skinning these has a chance to drop a Black Lotus, Killed roughly 120 and have gotten 3 so far.

I'm a lvl 70 feral druid and I found these much easier to farm then the arcane elementals near Kirin'Var Village.

First off, they take damage from bleed effects which is REALLY useful for a druid. Pounce->Mangle->Rip and the bog lord is down in 10 seconds. When combined with the Essence Infused Mushroom (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28109), I never had any downtime. I stayed at 100% while grinding.

Secondly, they take damage from arcane (yes, arcane mages/hunters, that means you can go pewpewpew!) and have the same amount of health as the elementals in Kirin'Var.

Thirdly, they drop motes of life at about the same rate as most of mana from the elementals in Kirin'Var. (Which is good because mots of life are needed in huge amounts for some good leather healing pieces)

If your a herbalist, they also double as a "skinnable" creature like everyone else has said. Earning you extra cash.

Theres also hardly anyone farming them (at least on Barthilas), so you can plow threw them to your hearts content. Finally, they are trackable using Tallstalk Mushrooms (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25548) which you can purchase when your friendly with Sporeggar, or if your a hunter. Speaking of which, these bog giants/lords also give 3/15 Sporeggar rep respectively for each kill.

Happy hunting!

EDIT: Added herbalism bit.

Hmm, they should change the rate on creep moss, it isnt 79% but more like 95%, ive been killing many of these and t drops nearly all the time

Comment by Malornerox

also, mote of lifes drop pretty quickly and so do Bog Lord Tendrils.

I just skilled herbalism up on a Withered Bog Lord from 329 to 330 and 330 to 331. Game crashed on me now, so I can't confirm how high it goes.

Best place ever for farming cash if you're an herbalist. After 1 hour, I vendored 40g worth of trash, 2 greens for another 10g, plus had 7 Primal Lifes (8-10 on Misha at the moment) and about 60 random herbs including Ancient Lichen and even a Black Lotus (counting both the drops and the fast respawn on the herb nodes there, Felweed, Dreamfoil, and Ragveil). Never got below 2 ticks on my health bar, never ate, never drank. Plus, other players were running around killing and not skinning these guys, so I had my work done for me in some cases.

Just herbskinned one for a Fel Lotus, which is not listed here.

If I remember right, these guys, as well as the Withered Giant, give Cenarion Expedition reputation if you haven't yet discovered the Sporeggar faction. After you discover Sporeggar they give Sporeggar rep instead of C.E.
